i've had pisces to the vet today for booster, micro chipping & to get a worming tablet. last time i wormed him it was with a two part powder. you put the powder in his morning meal & the second powder in the following morning meal. he wouldnt go near the food & he starved for bout 2 days so this time i tried the tablet.
i've been told you can get a liquid you put on the back of the neck like frontline but my vet dont stock it so that was a no go. i decided to give him the tablet just before he had his tea tonight. it was quite hard, harder than giving the dog i had when younger his worming tablet.
i had to hold him & try & get his mouth open while my partner put the tablet down his throat & rubbed his throat lightly. its took three attemps with me getting very scratched in the process. i feel soo sorry for him has he's had a bit of an ordeal today & i think the booster has made him rather sleepy, he's normally out all day & in at night.
it says on the tablet packet that you have to give him one of these worming tablets every three months, i'd hate to have to go through this 4 times a year.
do any of you know any easier ways to get tablets down a cat without distressing them?
